Tom L Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'll bring enough materials for everyone to tye along. The only thing that I won't have enough is the thread. The recipe called for Ultra Thread 140 Fl. Fire Orange. I got it from Cabela's, but you can use any other threads as substitute. The Foxy Crawdad is a level 3 difficulty fly in a 1-5 scale. It is a fun fly to tye and very effective. Hope to see you there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
